Ability to remove the 'each' from the end of the quantity column in the item master bill of materials tab

[joe_hughesP6YQF]

when editing the quantity of the item in the bill of material section of item master, you input a numerical value, but as soon as you have finished editing this and move on, the field becomes alpha-numeric, as the word 'each' gets added to the end of the value. this is terrible from an export point of view as there is already a field for the 'units' that we can automatically put next to the quantity field, so that it reads well, but when it comes to export, I can end up with '4 each' 'millilitre' as the columns sit next to each other, this is going to require post-processing in excel or something in order to make that work for import into and ERP/MRP system. it seems very messy to have something editable as a numerical value, and then to have the software take that away from me and convert it into something i don't want and can no longer use. I've got customers who are being put off adopting the Item Master because of the small bumps that can be easily fixed, and this is a prime example of that.

You could use Item Qty for this instead of Quantity!

Also, if you use the Export Items command, the Quantity is exported without the unit in the same column.
